A Remarkable Invention.

1t is ANNOUNCED that Daniel Draw
baugh, the inventor, who claims to
have invented the telephone, a ques-
ton that will be settled by the Supreme
Court of the United States within the
next six months, is working out some
thing new in his workshop, in Cumber-
land county, Pennsylvania. He has
now an invention which he declares
will be most useful in time of war on
land and sea. 1t consists of an electri-
cal continuance by means of which the
presence of large bodies of troops on
land or ships on water can be detected
within distance of ten miles. A gem
eral of the army with this new contriv-
ance in his tent can, it is claimed, tell
by its peculiar motion if the enemy is
near, and the commander of a war
vessel can also the approach of any
vessel, hostile or otherwise, the resist
ance of the water TO the approaching
vessel causing sufficient friction to es-
tablish a current that will cause the
indicator to sound the alarm.

The Delaware Peach.

In the report of the Delaware Grange
last week at Georgetown is the follow
ing in relation to the peach: There
was large attendance at the open
meeting of the grange. c. H. Treat
delivered the address of welcome. He
was replied to by John G. Higgins.
Colonel Edward L. Martin spoke with
much effect upon the question of peach
culture. He said that the peaches
grown on this Peninsula surpassed in
size, flavor and keeping qualities the
peaches grown in any other section of
the country. Whenever the peach
crop fails in Delaware the market for
the fruit is absolutely gone, no matter
how great the yield is in other states,
because the quality of the Delaware
peach is so far superior to all others
that it makes the market and market
price for all peaches. He advised a
combination of farmers to compel nur-
serymen to plant only healthy stock
and to bud with perfectly healthy buds.
Nine-tenths of the diseases of the peach
can be traced back to the nurseries.
Never" said the colonel, "buy a
peach tree from an agent who sells
stock from beautifully printed pictures
Disease peach pits from Delaware are
shipped to New York every year and
from New York to Tennessee, where
they are bought by nurserymen, plan
ted, and the trees raised from them are
sold to Delaware growers as perfectly
healthy trees. Land in Sussex county
that will grow forty bushels of pota-
toes to the acre will grow good
peaches.
